Question 1.
Why do we prefer a convex mirror as a rearview mirror in vehicles?
Answer:
We prefer a convex mirror as a rear-view mirror in vehicles because of the following reasons.

1. A convex mirror always forms an erect, virtual and diminished image of an object placed at anywhere in front of it.
2. A convex mirror has a wider field of view than a plane mirror of the same size.
3. Thus convex mirrors enable the driver to view much larger traffic behind him than would be possible with a plane mirror.

Question 7.
How to make a chemical equation more informative ?
(OR)
Distinguish between acids and bases.
Answer:
Chemical equations can be made more informative by expressing the following characteristics of the reactants and products.
i) Physical state
ii) Heat exchange (exothermic or endothermic change
iii) Gas evolved (if any)
iv) Precipitate formed (if any)

i) Expressing the physical state : The physical state of the substances may be mentioned along with their chemical formula. The different states i.e., gaseous, liquid and solid states are represented by the notations (g), (l) and (s) respectively. If the substance is present as a solution in water, it is represented as (aq).
E.g.: Fe₂O_3(s) + 2 Al_(s) → 2 Fe_(s) + Al₂O_3(s)

ii) Heat exchange : Heat is liberated in exothermic reactions and heat is absorbed in endothermic reactions.
1) C_(s) + O_2(g) → CO_2(g) + Q (exothermic reaction)
2) N_2(g) + O_2(g) → 2NO_(g) – Q (endothermic reaction)
(Or) N_2(g) + O_2(g) 2NO_(g)

iii) Gas evolved : Ifa gas is evolved ma reaction, it is denoted by an upward arrow t or (g).
E.g.: Zn_(s) + H₂SO_4(aq) → ZnSO_4(aq) + H_(2g)↑

iv) Precipitate formed: If a precipitate is formed in the reaction, it is denoted by a downward arrow ↓.
E.g.: AgNO_3(aq) + NaCl_(aq) AgCl_(s)↓ + NaNO_3(aq)
(OR)

Question 9.

Observe the picture. The potential values at A, B, C are 70V, 0V, 10V
a) What is the potential at D ?
b) Find the ratio of the flow of current in AD, DB, DC.
(OR)
List out the apparatus and experimental procedure for the experiment to observe a current carrying wire experiences a magnetic force when it is kept in uniform magnetic field.
i) pushed into the coil ?
ii) withdrawn from inside the coil?
iii) held stationary inside the coil ?
Answer:

a) By following Ohm’s law P.D is (V) = iR
In the given circuit, we are applying junction laws.
‘D’ works as junction so, i = i₁ + i₂
Let P.D at D is V₀,
We know that, i = \(\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{R}}\)

(70 – V₀)6 = 5V₀ – 20
420 – 6V₀ = 5V₀ – 20
6V₀ + 5V₀ = 440 ⇒ 11V₀ = 440
V₀ = \(\frac{440}{11}\) = 40
∴ Potential at D is = V₀ = 40V

b) Flow of current in AD is

The ratio of the flow of current in AD, DB and DC is 3 : 2 : 1.
(OR)

• A copper ware is passed through splits of wooden sticks.
• Connect the wire to 3 volts battery.
• Close the switch of the battery and pass the current.
• Bring the horse-shoe magnet near the wire.
• Then a force is experienced on the wire.
• Reverse the polarities of the magnet, then the direction of the force is also reversed.
• The right hand rule helps the direction of flow of current and the direction of current.
• Due to the uniform magnetic field of horse-shoe magnet, current carrying wire moves in opposite side to the magnet.
• Here the wire bends downwards due to the force applied by the magnet.
